Yep straight into the big pot. It’s best to never disturb your soil because it disrupts the food web ability to communicate and make food for the plant. Even when you top dress It’s important not to rake any deeper than an inch. That is why so many farmers are going to a no till style of growing, I’m digging in like 3" between grows but I cook at least 2 weeks and it takes a little while for the roots to establish in the soil. I figure it’s better to break up that harder layer on top and mix in more worm poop perlite and nutrients. I don’t know if I’m right though it breaks the no till rule. But I’m in a pot with no where to add it on top

This is exactly what makes me want to go to beds man thinking about ditching the tents and doing a 3x3 bed and 4x2 bed really build up that soil and allow it its full potential and switch to no till im surprised at this point you dont have any beds yet lol

I have thought alot about beds , my thought is having the pots keep the plants portable so I can work on training and move them around if I have a few shorties and some taller ones. Lighting is so critical to the outcome of the buds having them locked together is not going to work… # unless , you are planning to lock them together anyway in a net

After I watched this I thought it might be better to go with the beds even if you are locking them together will the plants communicate and help each other grow

Ive actually watched the entire Ted Talk video on yt its extremely amazing what they can do for one another and how they can communicate with one another growing has turned into such a large rabbit hole for me and it blows my mind the more i read/watch and learn its truly fascinating to me

That it is , my friend 
and there is so much crap out there that contradicts each other it’s hard to make sense of a lot of it
I’ll probably get a bed and try it out when or if I ever get into the big growroom

The larger amounts of soil in the beds, allowing for the larger fungi networks, and the more consistent moisture levels relly makes for a optimal grow space. Our 200 gallon pots we use fo the full season typically grow the best because of this. When running in the smaller pots that get pretty well loaded up with roots start to slow down a bit more once they get bigger. Auto tent is looking great to, seems like we all are getting hit with wild temps in the grow space.

Thanks @LiesGrows I was hoping for a little more stretch but I’m not complaining since they’re happy 
Thanks @Roadsideorganics.ok I’ve been reading how much better the living soil is in bigger pots and I would like to try some one day. One day I’ll get the big room done and I’ll have more space to play then I’ll get more crap and be just as cramped 
just in a bigger spot
Thanks @Mark0427 I’m not getting a book thing yet

Okay y’all I think I’ve HEARD it all now our next big spend is going to be microphones. Scientists have found that plants talk when they get thirsty or injured. I’m sure it won’t be long before we start seeing companies exploit this and flood the market with all kinds of listening devices so we can hear the plants tell us when to water them

Lmao. Maybe we can see them do a shimmy shake if they r mute plants that can’t speak. What if it’s a deaf plant then how does it talk. Ask the scientist that?? Lol.
